Re: Accessibility of Whiteboard Animations

My thoughts…


if the whiteboard does not add any new information not in the audio — then it is redundant and accessible. 
If there IS new information then it would need to be described.  Best way though is to just be sure that information is in the audio (and captions of course)

There are many examples of these in YouTube but for a baseline for discussion here is one specific example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZDTB8gmGvY <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZDTB8gmGvY>).
